November 17, 2009- Newsletter # 11

Today, November 17 was Brooke Day of Christian’s Best Friends Festival. Brooke Day is in honor of my childhood friend, Brooke Herrick. This festival is the only day when the festival is not on Friends St. On Brooke Day, there was a fair in Downtown Brooke called The Christian Smith and Brooke Herrick Fair. So, here’s what happened. During the Fair, the famous festival couple that I told you about yesterday was there celebrating their getting-together anniversary of 4 Years with their now 2 year old daughter, Carol. While there, They greeted the people coming to the Christian Smith and Brooke Herrick Fair and a lot of people were very happy to see them and some were surprised when they see saw them. Like Paul of North Chester said “Bryan and Holly! It’s soo great to see you guys!” and later he added “I remember how you guys got together…” as he went on explain the entire story of them getting together. Bryan and Holly finally decided that Paul should hang out with them. Because after all as Holly says “He was a pretty devoted fan, so, why not?” After they greeted the people, they had a meet and greet so; people could ask them questions about them and their relationship. Most of the question were about whether or not they were going to have another baby but, Holly politely said No. so, that was what happened today at Brooke Day. Tomorrow we will return to Friends St. in Downtown Christianville and I will report on that tomorrow.

Christianville Tribune: Christian's Best Friends Festival- Michael Day

November 16, 2009- Newsletter # 10

Ok, Christianville. It’s Best Friends Festival time again. This festival goes from November 16-20. This Year’s festival is the 5th Annual Christian’s Best Friend Festival. This Festival is held on Friend St. in Downtown Christianville (except for Brooke Day, which is held is Downtown Brooke) you see, my friends are very important to me and my idea of honoring them is to have this festival. See, I pick the friends I want to honor and I have a day for them and I give them a theme for that day. So, Today November 16 is Michael Day which is in honor of My Brother. So, here’s what happened today. First, to kick off the festival was The City of Christianville Band and they walk through the Festival door. Then, they introduce The US, Tennessee, and The City of Christianville Flags. Following that is the Presentation of Friends Made of The Year. During this they first introduce the friends by which have a themed day and they are My Brother Michael, Childhood Friends Brooke, Meredith, and Whitney Herrick, and finally ends with My Best Friend Steven Vandeneyekel. After that, they introduced the Friends that were made in 2009. 2009’s New Friends included PTLS Moms Sherry Attaway and Christine Catrone, My Mom’s Friend Linda Bastida, and a couple friends from Special Olympics Bowling who are Joseph Estes and Kevin Levay. And, then after that was the Parade of Michael Centeno. Here are some of the reactions during Michael Day. Joe from Maplewood said “Michael Day is really cool and I can’t believe that The Best Friends Festival has been going on for 5 Years, Wow! And Sarah from Geography HS says “I heard that that Festival Couple Bryan and Holly will be at the festival tomorrow! I’ll be happy to see them” and, that is what happened today. I will be reporting on Brooke Day tomorrow. By the way, if you’re wondering about the festival couple, they are a made-up couple that got together at the festival on Brooke Day which is tomorrow in 2006 and they ended up falling in love and later raising a family in April of 2007.

Christianville Tribune: Local Changes Take Effect

The Christianville Tribune

Newsletter # 9

A couple weeks ago, A big change happend to 2 things in The Christianville Metro Area. And, I'm writing this to tell you it. First off, the popular Christianville Metro Radio Station, 97.9 KMKI has changed it's call letters because of the fact that the company that runs KMKI moved to the East of the Mississippi River from where it was and now, it's company if stationed on Brooke, TN. The reason, the company states is because of the rule that Radio Station and TV Stations east of the Mississippi must have their call letters start with W. So, therefore 97.9 KMKI is now 97.9 WSKY. The second change is with the school system in The Christianville Area. Both Christianville and Brooke's school system changed their named from an Independent School District to a Public School System. so, Christianville ISD is now Christianville Public Schools and Brooke ISD is the Brooke Public Schools. People's recations to these changes has been pretty good. but, With the radio station change, people are still getting used too it because that station has been KMKI for a long time and now, it's time for something new.

Christianville Metro Tour(Day 5)

The Christianville Tribune

Newsletter # 6

OK, Everyone it's time for the 5th and final day of tour of the Christianville Metro Area. I hope you enjoyed the tour of The City Of Christianville because The City of Christianville was the funnest part of the tour. Now, we're going to tour what the people of Christianville Metro call "The New England Cities" which is a series of close-knit villages that are very much like Mapleton. The New England Cities are northwest and west of The City of Christianville. Places and Houses in The New England Cities alot like Vermont and New Hampshire while Mapleton is alot like Maine. New England Cities are the villages on the map from Brooke to the Tennessee River on the west side of Christianville; all the village names come from New England type names. One of the unique things of The New England Cities is that Mapleton has something that most out-of-city Tennesseans are surprised by, it has Maple Trees. The reason they're surprised is that Tennessee doesn't normally house Maple Trees. The New England Cities has another airport around it called C/NC Intl' Airport. because Christianville has it's own airport, C/NC is not owned or watched by The City of Christianville or Christianville Metro Transportation Authority. C/NC Airport is actually shared between Christianville and it's unofficial twin city, New Christianville. that is why C/NC stands for Christianville/New Christianville Intl' Airport. Since C/NC Intl' is near the New England Cities it has a sound shield around it like GCI. Before GCI, people would have to fly into C/NC to get to Christianville. Well, concludes our tour of The Christianville Metro Area. I hope you enjoyed travelling with me through the metro area. and, fianlly some people of Christianville Metro would like to wish you thanks for listening to their stories of THEIR Christianville Metro Area.

Ok, Everyone it’s time for the 4th day of the tour of The Christianville Metro Area. Today we’re going to visit The Center Piece of The Metro Area, Christian’s Heart, The GRAND MAMA CITY OF THE CHRISTIANVILLE METRO AREA! The City of Christianville! Christianville is the seat of the metro area and it is named after Christian. Most of Christianville lies inside Geography Line Rd. and Geography Beltway although some of the city does extend beyond those two roads. Geography Beltway is the major highway loop around the city and Geography Line Rd. is the city street loop around the city. The City of Christianville is filled with fun stuff to do, so let’s started. Let’s start on Christian Pkwy, Where most of Christianville’s Tourist Attractions are at. Christian Pkwy is a major thoroughfare in the metro area. Christian Pkwy. runs through 3 Districts; Historic, Christmas, and Geography. We start in the Historic District which is between Geography Line Rd. and Geography Beltway. Christian’s Historic District is an area with a street by street story of Christian’s Life. There are several museums along Christian Pkwy. About his life. From when and where he was born, schools he went to, and friends and loves that he had, Everything about Christian’s Life is on Christian Pkwy., in Christian’s Historic District. Many locals and Visitors alike love Christian’s Historic District. In fact, one local; Steven M., an honor student at North Christianville HS mentioned that Christian’s History of Travel Museum was his favorite museum and in his free time he drives up and down Christian Pkwy. With his friends every other weekend or two seeing all the museums. Now, Christian’s Historic District is awesome. But, there’s 2 other districts to visit.
　
　
(refer to Christmas and Geography District Map above)　
　
　
The 2nd District is The Christmas District which is named after my favorite holiday. Christian’s Christmas District is across Geography Beltway from The Historic District. Christian’s Christmas District has Christmas Music, Carols, and Santa Claus all year long and Most of the streets names have Christmassy names like Christmas Music Ln., Santa Claus Ln., and Christmas Tree Ln. On Christmas Music Ln., 1 Mile east of Christian Pkwy. is the local radio station “98.1 The District” which plays Christmas Music year-long to The Christianville Metro Area and their music comes from Christmas Music Records which is next door to the radio station. Further down Christian Pkwy., is the White Christmas Museum and Maine Christmas Tree Museum. The first place we’re going to is The White Christmas Museum which is about what it would be like seeing a white Christmas. Many locals and visitors love this museum since there’s little snow in winter in Christianville, TN and they would love to see a White Christmas. The next place we’re going to is The Maine Christmas Tree Museum, this museum is about Christian’s fascination of tall trees and Christmas Trees in The North. During the holiday season, the museum puts Maine Christmas Trees up at the Visitors’ Center for locals and visitors to buy. And, Now we cross the Christmas and Geography District road dividing line, Christmas-Geography Ln. and drive into the 3rd District, The Geography District. The first place is we’re going visit is 1 mile east of Christian Pkwy. On Geography Blvd. is At 5800 Geography Blvd. Christian’s Geography Archives holds all of Christian’s geographical knowledge and where he stores all the information about where things are and how to get there. Across the street from the Christian’s Geography Archives is Christian’s Road Sign Archives which is similar to the geography archives but, it’s about all the road signs he has seen. Also, it has the history of how he started to love road signs. After that, we head back west toward Christian Pkwy. To find the Road Sign Museum. The Road Sign Museum is about Christian’s love for Road Signs, some of the websites that have them, and the people that take pictures of them. Now, we’ve reached the end of The Geography District and Christian Pkwy. turns into Tennessee St. as we enter Downtown Christianville.

(refer to Downtown Christianville Map)　

Here in Downtown Christianville on Friends St. is where a lot of Christian’s Best Friends’ Festival is held. Christian’s Best Friends’ Festival is a once a year event held November 16-20 on Friends St. from Brooke St. to S. Izzy St. and it honors Christian’s best friends. Each friend has a day full of events related to that person. After driving further down Tennessee St. is the intersection of Christianville and Tennessee Streets which people all over The Christianville Metro Area know as the Heart of Christianville and the heart of me, Christian Smith-Centeno. The special part about this intersection is that whatever I’m feeling; the people around the intersection feel it. After visiting my heart, we drive 1 block down to West Michael Street, named for my little brother, Michael is Christianville’s teen and local hangout. Many Teens come down to hangout on West Michael Street everyday. But, most spend their Friday and Saturday Nights on West Michael Street to meet up with and make new friends. In fact, 18 year old Kendra, a student at West Christianville HS, said she comes down to West Michael Street every Saturday night to meet up with her friends from The Geography District and Brooke. Kendra says “ My friends and I meet at my friend’s house in The Geography District and we’ll ride the CARTA line down to West Michael Street”. Most of the streets in Downtown Christianville are named after people Christian knows and loves like Julie St., Brooke St, W. Michael St., and Kathy St. finally, we reach the Tennessee River and the Mississippi Border. But, to end the tour we see The Christian-Izzy Bridge which is a big highlight for travelers coming north into Christianville, because it looks like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and it’s a beautiful setting to the City of Christianville skyline.
There’s more of the metro area to see, stay tuned!
